Louie: "EW! OLD people romance, YUCK!"
Scrooge: "We weren't old back THEN"
Louie: "its impossible to imagine you young"
I died
Am I the only one who found Rockerduck's reaction to losing the giant nugget hilarious? "Well... dang." He threw a giant temper tantrum over the temperature of his soup, but loosing giant hunk of gold worth a fortune and he's just, "Meh, better luck next time."
That argument is invalid because- Well Dang.
That's what happens when outrage and despair go so high they wrap back around to a mere "darn it".
He strikes me as the type who throws tantrums because he knows he can get away with it and it makes people grovel, but doesn't bother with a private failure that he knows he won't get any sympathy for.
Priorities.
He should have eaten his hat, that’s kind of his thing.
One thing that is super subtle but is still really neat is how old Scrooge and young Scrooge have slightly different voices. David Tennant pitches his voice down slightly when playing Scrooge normally, but uses his more regular voice when it's young Scrooge.
I've never noticed that before.
I assume ducktales’ time travel is the: “it was always meant to happen” idea, so Scrooge never had the adventure without gyro
So the fixed timeline approach.
@@yousefhussain2629 I think so too, in season 1, Scrooge's Board of Director were wondering why he kept Gyro around, when many of his invention went evil. Scrooge might have realized that Gyro was important to his present via their interactions in the past via time travel. He needed to keep the mad scientist around to be his friend and ally, plus future/past events we don't know about yet.
Predestination paradox solved
So like Harry Potter
@@time391 that could have been it but if you rewatch this episode you'd see that Scrooge only remembered that the guy that helped them was Gyro when he literally teleports back to the present infront of Scrooge as he was retelling his story about it.
Like you fail to kill your grandfather
"How did the story get resolved originaly?"
That's the thing, it has ALWAYS been resolved like this, Gyro meeting Scrooge in the past has always been a thing even before ge got into the Time Tub.
Time travel is confusing.
It's. Paradox! Yeah I know. I always wonder what the pre paradox timeline would have been
Matt I. That’s how it was supposed to happen
@@seaniccus It's only a paradox if it conflicts with known events. This is more of a "closed loop" time travel event.
@@seaniccus Sure a lot of people have pointed this out, but as it's more time loop than paradox, there was never another timeline. He always had Gyro with him
@@SuperSwordman1 I recognize this reading of events, but I don't believe in closed loop timelines, as that implies "fate." Unless time is existing all at once, there had to be at least one point in the universe that time was moving forward, where the future hadn't been written yet. That means that time period had to complete at least one time without Gyro.
If Gyro had always been there, it means the future is pre-determined and there is no free will. And that's a valid reading of it, but that's not how I choose to interpret time travel stories.
I love the part where Scrooge tries to talk in modern slang 😂
GET LOST *dude* , YOUR KILLING MY VIBE *man*
It's was hilariously cringy.^^
I liked how Rockerduck's henchman was a cross between two famous old James Bond henchmen: Jaws and Oddjob.
Glad I'm not the only one who caught that
Oddjawb
I missed the time tub in the background. So when he appeared in the jail cell I thought it would be an ancestor. So I was surprised when he quickly revealed that he was a time traveling Gyro.
I didn't see the time tub in the background either but when I saw Gyro, my reaction was : "WTF?! How did Gyro- oh right, time travel is a thing in ducktales..." later when he pulls out the time tub, "...Why a tub? I've always wondered."
Disney really loves the time travel trope.
me neither I thought gyro was about as old as scrooge mcduck
@@dianamnajarro5119 Disney probably should sue John Cussack and MGM for the patent infringment, their hot tub time machine was invented by Gyro :P
Same!
Really really really really really really really can’t wait for you to review the Della episodes.
there's one that will make him cry
Cassidy Faith me neither
Same
Though it technically might not be a stand alone episode because of the phone call Louie makes at the very end
Oh and I loved how this Scrooges named got turned into a discription skin to Dr. Who which is very much appropriate considering Scrooge is voiced by one of the Doctors
I love how the time travel aspect of this episode is just a background thing.
this was one of the funniest episode of the season. Absolutly loved the small interactions between louie and scrooge + goldie and scrooge
In don Rosa's duck dynasty Rockerduck father give advice to Scrooge on how to be a good miner and to not give up. He also discover that he was the real owner of the gold mine for a law, but he give up cause he needed money for repay the old debts of his Clan.
Rockerduck son, The actually Rockerduck is more like a egoistic, eccentric business man and rival of scrooge. He spent a lot in luxury just to say "i can afford that". In most stories he will end eating his cap for rage after a failing attempt to win against Scrooge
The great thing about DuckTales is that it is written by people who are really dedicated to the series. It is people who know how the story works and work hard to make it work. No money cow series. Of course, Disney is probably happy to get money from the series.
I think it's strange that he's unknown in america. I grew up with mostly italian comics and I'm not sure if I knew Glomgold before Ducktales came around. Rockerduck on the other hand is super well known around here. We got all the fun stuff, like Donald being a superhero, a monster fighter, a secret agent etc.
The only thing I missed about Rockerduck, that he didn't react to his loss, like he did in the comics, by eating his bowler (hat). "Would you like some salt and pepper with your bowler mr Rockerduck?"
This^
Im from the Netherlands and we also have all the cool extra stuff here, so i feel almost bad for you Amarecan guys to miss out on all this cool stuff ....
Are you for real? Donald a super hero? What?!?! Secret agent!?!? At least Ducktakes 2017 is showing us some characters we don't usally see here in America.
@@jocabedrivera7756 of course I'm for real. Phantomias is how his super hero self is called, he found the costume in an old Manor his lucky cousin won. The price landed at Donald's house and he found the secret room and used the stuff there to steel some of Scrooge's money from under his nose. There was a police showdown and after some stuff he became good and though he occasionally took a not so good path he is quite the hero. Gyro made his gear, his secret lair and a pill that makes gyro forget everything after they are done working together. Daisy also has a her persona, called Phantomime and there is this designer (Harriet Hen I think is her name) who makes all of Daisy's weapons and made her costume. There are currently 28 full volumes of 300+ pages just with stories of him in Germany. As Agent DoubleDuck he fights crime bosses all over the world with his partner Kay K. Their direct boss is someone called Jay J, and I think the boss of The Organization is Donald himself, but another him (I haven't read them in a long time, so I don't remember how that works). And last but definetely not least he is a monster fighter for the Organisation to disperse of Monster of All kinds, short O.M.A. (this is a loose translation I made, the fun thing is that the Acronym O.M.A. means grandma) his partner there is his cousin Feathry and they are up against all kinds of monsters. They even once trapped a monster king underground.
@@cooky2991 Donald is actually a secret agent twice over, even.
There is the organisation you pointed out, but he and Fethry are also secret agents for Scrooge's very own agency (responsible for protecting Scrooge's money and investements). Scrooge is too cheap to pay for his agents, so his nephews have to do it and encounter some pretty weird super villains while doing so. As compared to the O.M.A. stories (the organisation is called "Tamers of nonhuman Threats" or TNT in English, btw.) , and especially the Double Duck stories these stories only have a very loose continuity.
Also, there are American comics published that have some stories with Fethry and all of Donsad's awesome occupations. The comics are just not very popular and the magazine thry have been published in switches publisher every few years, it seems.
( Also, by the time they reach New Zealand they are damn overpriced! ...I seriousely miss Germany. So many Duck comics for reasonable prices...)
In Germany he’s nearly in every single comic book. I even got to know him before Flintheart Glomgold and I’m happy about it, he’ll always be my favourite Disney Character. 😅
You forgot to mention when Louie contacts Goldie so he can make fast money
My preferred interpretation of time travel is those who do it had already affected the past and are just fulfilling what always should have been. As such, there is no timeline in which Gyro didn't go into the past, because he had done so and would do so in the future.
Confused yet? Time travel always messes with English tenses.
Funny thing about John D. Rockerduck is that he's kind of a composite character of his comic book counterpart and his father, Howard Rockerduck, who actually WAS around during the time of the Old West, whereas John was around 10 at the time. Also, Howard was a honest tycoon (if that's even possible, IMO), whereas John Rockerduck is... well, pretty much how he is here. Also in the comics, John D. Rockerduck INHERITED his fortune, rather than earning it like Scrooge did, so he has less of an appreciation for this wealth, which I think is a good dynamic to have.
It's most likely the predestined time travel like in Harry Potter. A lot of comic books with Gyro had this kind of time travel.
Christmas episode's time travel was also like this.
"Young me."
"Old me."
Arthur Brandon Nielsen Also,”Welcome back”.
okay some one please make a Fanfiction of that please.
DuckTails crossover with Harry potter.
It’s interesting to learn that even Fenton’s ancestors have had an alter ego in a Robot Suit, good it seems that Fenton could continue his family tradition, but it’s a pity that him being Gizmoduck is not a secret this time around like in the Original where only Scrooge and Fenton’s mother knew about him being Gizmoduck.
Finally, someone realizes that scrooge doesn't have enough episodes.
I know right? I mean, to be honest, he's right. There isn't anything wrong with putting more spotlight on other characters because I know this show wants to let the viewers know more about them. But still, I feel Disney and the writers have been ignoring Scrooge lately and put more focus on those kids now, which is started to get annoying to me. It's just that... since Ducktales is supposed to be based on the Scrooge McDuck comics, it feels really hard to see less of him in the show now. Maybe that's why I find it a bit annoying? I don't know.
In the comics Rockerduck is more common to be a villain than glomgold and a funny thing about him is that always when he loses he eats his hat.
In certain markets that is.
@@henke37 in the comic books I read
Loved this one!
Goldie is best rival, love it when she pits Scrooge and Rockerduck.
Love Gyro's side plot as well especially when he gets back _just_ as Scrooge finished the story.
Gyro: "WHAT YEAR IS IT?!"
Scrooge: *oooooohhhh...*
Love Louie as well in this, commenting every now and then reminding us that it's a flashback.
I also had the same thoughts of Fenton's relative as an old-timie superhero. Like you said, it worked- but- what? lol
If you wanna meet a Puerto Rican from New York with a southern accent? *Meet Marshall*
In my opinion, John Hodgman did a great job voicing Rockerduck.
That’s the reason why I’m watching the shown on english. I mean, nothing against the person, but just listen to the German voice actor… 😫
and this why Scrooge McDuck is awesome in both the old show and the new show too.
wow that was a real fun Ep.
Anyone catch the starwars reference. The horses they used, even though no one asked what is this and how do we drive it, looks a lot like speeder bikes. Look at the necks.
Rockerduck will always be von Pluring in my heart.
Yay! The reviews are back! Tho, I wanted to know your reaction to Louie calling up Goldie at the end...
I don't think Louies partnership with Goldie is going to work out particularly when things don't go to plan which never do with Goldie who has to rely on other people to get anywhere.
I really couldn't believe it when I saw Rockerduck in Ducktales. Though I did flinch when I first heard the right pronunciation of his name (I'm Italian so my family always read it as ROCKER-DOOK)
😅
Awesome review Seaniccus!
Can’t wait for your reviews of the Della episodes :)
Back to the Future 3 makes Doc the main character with the love interest. Reminds me of when they say each other’s catchphrases “Great Scott” and “this is heavy!” In this one it’s Scrooge is the Doc. I love this connection
Has anyone noticed that Scrooge's prospector outfit kinda looks like Stinky Pete's from Toy Story 2?
It's almost like they're both gold prospectors or something.
7:00 On that note, the sheriff does mention they could probably have caught up with the train on real horses.
i just love goldie being the instigator. what a queen. what an icon.
Yeah, RetroGizmo took me out of it a bit - found myself doing a very David Tennant-esque (as the Doctor) "Nooo.....NOOOoo.... NO!" as each piece fell into place creating Gizmo.
If Gyro hadn't been knocked out, it might've made sense to have him see RetroGizmo and get his idea for the modern Gizmo from there.
When *I* saw it, I figured RetroGizmo was inspired by modern Gizmo- but I was just left a tad confused. It's cool that ingenuity has always run in Fenton's family, though.
I'm glad that I wasn't the only one being reminded of Back to the Future part 3.
Rockerduck's butler sure got buff when compared to comics.
You pretty much summed Rockerduck from comics, just missed that he became rich through inheritance and has habit of eating his hat when he loses
I'm not sure how canon it is, but wasn't Rockerducks father actually on really good terms with scrooge, having worked for his riches himself, actually mining with him for the fun of it even though he was already rich? Meanwhile, the younger Rockerduck was a spoiled brat. It stuck with me, because it gave such a nice context to the usual stories.
@@Leartin Rockerduck was spoiled yeah, but his father was kind of sad and bitter about nature of rich man ""the respect of everyone, and the friendship of no one" and told Scrooge to go back to his family in scotland when he becomes rich.
it angers me that they missed the opportunity to call him john d. rockefeather
I think it's called a Steampunk Gizmoduck
I liked when Gyro tells sheriff Cabrera he reminds him of someone frustrating lol
This episode is where Gyro is the one that goes back in time with the time tub that he can't control because it had gone sentient theory was right. I came up with a theory when I saw the San Diego Comic-Con picture with Gyro in it. I'm so happy my theory was right. :)
I had a few issues with this episode.
Keep in mind, this is more or less becouse I am in love with the Rosa cannon.
This could have been a perfect re-telling of when Scrooge found copper, and learned prospecting.
I was hoping for Rockerduck Senior, who kindly thought Scrooge prospecting, instead we got junior, being his usual asshole self.
When first seeing Gearloose, I was hoping for the old engineer, Rachet, from Scrooge's steamboat, instead we get his time-traveling grandson Gyro.
Still, it was a good episode.
I didn't even realize who John D. Rockerduck was. I only know him from the comics(I love that they are even using mostly european characters), where he has a translated name. Andy Anderbilt, aka. Ducky Duckerbilt.
... Maybe the english name is better
In Germany his name is ,,Klaas Klever”. Didn’t know it was him too till I got to know the english name.
I didnt really like how they portrayed Rockerduck and Jeeves. Rockerduck felt like a Glomgold wannabe and Jeeves was too dull... I think they deserved better considering this is their first appearance in a cartoon.
Rockerduck is kind of a jerk but not in this way. And maybe a nitpick, but him not eating his hat was very dissapointing, since the gag is almost an essential part of his character.
I hope we see more of them later on. I mean, the Rockerduck bloodline is still alive in present Duckburg
Finally someone else. Thanks.
This episode reminds me of "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck"
Really loved see rockerduck into the show, what differentiate him to scrooge its that he didn't get his fortune alone but mostly heir it from his father (who teach scrooge how to be a miner) and in comics he got this hate for 'poors' and his butler /servant jeeves or lusky in Italy is less intimidating and more slim and very loyal to his 'boss' and another trait the comic rockerduck have is the mutual respect for scrooge that he will never even dare confess but he have it and a last funny thing he is usually to do when his schemes fails is to eat his hat! It's a funny thing that hope to see animated in the show
The time paradox was hilarious.
Hello guys, I know I’m kind of late with this comment, because I discovered this channel lately and just watched this video now( and enjoying it a lot by the way), and I’m here to emphasize what was said about Rockerduck being popular in other countries( as well as Fethry). Here in Brazil, we have as the usual main antagonist in Scrooge’s Comics not Glumgold, but rather Rockerduck, he acts as Scrooge’s main rival in the search for treasures and money, using dirty tactics to surpass Scrooge(and sometimes Scrooge does that as well), just to you have an idea, much of my friends don’t even know Glumgold, but they’re all know Rockerduck as the main Scrooge’s villain.
I would say that Rockerduck in the comics is a slightly less evil version of comic Glomgold. There is a comic where Rockerduck, the Beagle Boys, Magica and Glomgold all work together against Scrooge McDuck. It's actually Rockerduck who gets remorse. Same in some other comics. But he still does a lot of evil stuff. You would say were comic Glomgold would think twice of killing a person, Rockerduck actually seems to have a little bit of a conscience
Scrooge's main backstory in Bark's comics was that he was a honest self made man. Glamgold was a self made man too, but utterly dishonest, and Rockerduck was besically honest, if a bit arrogant, but was born rich and didn't have to earn a single penny (which made him a big spender, also in contrast to Scrooge's stinginess). In the end Barks found Glamgold a more compelling antagonist and dropped Rockerduck.
In Europe they dropped Glamgold and had Rockerduck pick up some of his traits, so he ended up being rich because family, big spender, but also not a stranger to shady tactics to win the competitions with Scrooge.
I legitimately wonder if Barks dropped Rockerduck because harping on honest family riches doesn't work well in America, and the Europeans dropped Glamgold because, being in the comics a South African Boer rather than a Scotsman, he came with lots of messy political and colonial overtones, even if the character himself never put any weight on that.
I wonder how many people realize this episode is a spoof of the 60's series, The Wild Wild West.
Scrooge McDuck = James West
Gyro Gearloose = Artemis Gordon
Marshall Cabrera = Tennyson
John D. Rockerduck = Dr. Miguelito Quixote Loveless
Jeeves = Loveless' giant associate Voltaire
Goldie O'Gilt = Loveless' singing associate Antoinette
Their relationship is a lot like Batman and Catwoman’s relationship in the DC Comics and the telltale games game
Is anyone going to mention that Gyro got back to the present at the exact time and place Scrooge was telling Louie the story?
I like that Scrooge isn't focused on heavily. Leaves room for the fact that he (at least to me) should feel mysterious in his past. All the questions the other characters have being unanswered and only focusing on his present is perfect. Just the occasional episode like this has always been fine by me.
I can't wait until you get to the next episode because, my god, it was a crazy episode! Also, can't wait for the Della episodes too. Trust me, it gets even better.
I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about Louie looking to learn from Goldie at the episodes end.
This is a great review, Seaniccus. I can't wait for more.
This episode is not available on demand for some reason. Luckily, I was able to watch it live, but I really wanted to watch it again.
My guess is why we don't see Rockerduck in the US, is because of the Rockerfellas families and how they would react to this.
This makes me think about how they feel about Roosevelt. (I am remembering the correct President that busted up the trusts and monopolies right?)
I can’t wait for a Luey and Goldie episode
Why do you always dislike the best parts of episodes? The Steampunk Gizmoduck climax was amazing!
I just went through the upcoming episodes on the Ducktales Wiki. I got to “The Duck Knight Returns” and read the episode description. “When Scrooge and Dewey make a gritty Darkwing Duck movie” Ok, so far so good, it’s playing on the fact Darkwing is a fictional character in this world. Then I read the second part of the episode description. “Launchpad teams up with the original Darkwing to stop it.” OHMYHOLYCHEETOS I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY
As a crazy hero once said "Let's get dangerous!"
Sloth Overlord 🤩aw yeah!
i would really like them to do a gyro centric episode now
The time tub also a gold Tech invention of Gyro. :)
Am I the only one who caught the "There Will Be Blood" references?
Can't wait for your videos on the new episodes focused on Della.
One of the greatest animated series of the modern era .... Yes ! I said it .
Steampunk Gizmoduck for the win :)
I love getting rapid episodes it’s wonderful getting one every day gives me something to watch
I am a sucker for anything with Lin Manuel Miranda
To be honest, for a long time I thought that glomgold was Rockerduck, or "patacôncio", as we know here in Brazil, I only met glomgold on the ducktales remaster videogame, and I was like "why is Rockerduck so different from the comics?
It feels so wierd to me to see the original gyro
I always imagined that Scrooge would get rich and hire The inventor anyways and that inventor would invent that time machine, meaning that him going back to the past wouldn’t change much.
So, the 3 main story arcs for Season 2 are the Louie Inc. one, the Scrooge vs. Glomgold bet and the one involving Della on the Moon. But, wasn't there also a cliffhanger that showed a giant, carnivorous plant coming back to life? Whatever happened to that?
Actually, I'd say this is really par for the course when it comes to Scrooge. While he's not above using deception or taking advantage of someone else's ignorance or needs, Rosa and Barks long established that he hated the idea of cheating or scamming anyone to make a quick buck.
I love time travel!
The Rockerduck character confused me as there was a similarly named character in a by now obscure media of the Disney Afternoon. In an old read along cassette tape of Darkwing Duck, his foe was an original villain named Frequencia who used song frequencies to hypnotize people and steal their riches. One of her victims was a doweger by the name of Joan D. Rockefeather--hence my confusion with Rockerduck
Maybe it's just me but, I feel like I've seen this version of Rockerduck somewhere else before. I know it's not from the original Ducktales as I have yet to see more than one episode of that, but I'm not sure which show I've seen him on before. The only other show where he might have appeared that actually has Scrooge in it from time to time was Mickey's House of Mouse show. Any ideas Mr. Seanicus? Also as a heads up I'm an American.
will i did enjoy the episode i'm a little disappointed that rockerduck was just use as a one time antagonist instead of a recurring one, since i live in italy (but i like to watch cartoons in english online) i’m more used to se rockerduck as scrooge rival, they could at least have him eat his hat from the anger of the lost.
nothing stopping him from being a villain in a future story via flashback, time travel or him just being older.
NekoVira well whe just gona wait and see
I first seen Rockerduck in the 'DuckTales' comics by Warren Spector, and to me, he seemed like a third rival for Scrooge.
Don't forget David Tennant is a Doctor Who alum.
Lin's British accent is significantly better than his southern accent.
Were those supposed to be Speeder bikes from ROTJ? Or Turbo Mules from Bravestarr?
but i never get see this ep.
wow good review.
To think that time tub becomes important later in the season
3:15
When you think about it
he is a lot like
Pacifica Northwest
Rockerduck? Isn't that the name of the estates in Duckburg Quest? (Sorry I'm not referencing something else instead of this. I don't really go that deep into comics & stuff)
That makes me think Rockerduck's family and descendants are real-estate tycoons in modern Duckburg. There could be a great-great nephew that acts more like the John D. of the comics.
How did you see this episode? It hasn’t aired yet, has it? It’s not listed on Disney Channel On Demand.
I'm just really eager for you to review the episode where Della finally returned to Earth and to her family
CN SAYIN!!! You’re not supposed to spoil it for him!
It was a great episode!
The mad haberdashery. Hahaha. Get it?
In happy birthday doofus Drake Goldie teams up with Louie
To escape he evil party or something like that
This was actually the first episode aside from maybe "Daytrip of Doom!" that I really didn't care for. My biggest problem is how Louie's character backslides, both in terms of his loss of momentum as a businessman and his willingness to completely disregard Scrooge's advice.
That said, I had other problems too. The Old West Gizmoduck didn't work for me - maybe if Gyro had helped build it, but for it to just kind of happen? No thanks. Second, I thought Rockerduck didn't get enough screentime to be an interesting antagonist. Finally, Goldie's voice sounded weirdly off to me - I assumed it was someone trying to imitate Allison Janney until I got to the credits.
I think you missed the James Bond/Oddjob/Jaws reference.
I saw it, but I can't talk about everything. I just focus on the things that interest me the most -- DuckTales has so many jokes and references, listing them all could be its own series!
Wait what? I can’t find this episode anyone I’m so confused
love goldie
Personally, I hate the Goldie and Scrooge romance. Look, I'm not the biggest fan of romance in any sort of medium, but this kind of love is the worst. It's Catwoman and Batman all over again; there is no real reason for Batman/Scrooge to care for Goldie/Catwoman beyond feeling lonely. This means that Batman/Scrooge love the companionship and not the actual person. How is that supposed to develop into a good relationship? Add to that the fact that Goldie and Catwoman are both CRIMINALS and the whole thing becomes a mess of WHY? Why them?
Where and when did this air?
I saw it live last week but they never put it On Demand.
What about Donald? :(
